AB When ecocriticism dug its heels into the academy and set off at a gallop a decade and a half ago, early modern literature seemed not to be onboard. Things have changed, and, as I write in the opening hours of 2012, three monographs (one mine), two collections, anda great many articles have been published explicitly linking ecocriticism with Shakespeare and early modern studies. While the individual pieces in the growing corpus of early modern ecocritical scholarship are of varying value, one thing they all share is a discontent withthematic treatments of nature in early modern literature (since this has been done for over four hundred years). Within the past ten years, something new has appeared, something committed to effecting environmental change through analyses of early modern literary texts. This essay reviews that material and offers comments on both the challenges it has faced and the visions it has presented PB Universidad de La Laguna.
